How To Stop Being a People Pleaser
Build your not-giving-a-fuck muscle.
The most important muscle you could be working on is the ability to not give a fuck about what other people think. Seriously, fuck people.
So many dreams, hopes, and aspirations are crushed because we care too much about what Billy237 will say on Instagram or what our friends or parents would think if they saw what we’re up to.
We might not even realize it, but we all care about other people’s opinions. And it’s killing us from the inside.
A short disclaimer. When I say you shouldn’t give a fuck about what people think, I don’t mean being cruel. I don’t even mean you should curse. Love your friends and family and even that Billy237 — God bless him.
I mean this: nod, be nice, but “do it anyway.”
That’s what not giving a fuck actually means. Doing it even though you’re afraid of being judged.
Words are worthless. Show you don’t give a fuck with your actions. Because like any muscle, not-giving-a-fuck needs regular working out. It’s the actions that matter at the end of the day.
Don’t shy away from uncomfortable situations — use them to become better, stay strong, build your core and your inner strength.
